Two children sawing through a dead goats neck

Does it shock you
are you sickened?
can these children
truly know
what its like for that sweet
earthling
to have been slaughtered
and so slow
seated at its head
one sawing
the other holds its head
and stares
clearly there are others
watching
this cold and evil state of affairs

savage is the pastime they
play at killing its a way
eyes down it looks contrived to me
an act of sick publicity
designed to draw the hatred for
a scene of utter blood and gore
and any decency abroad
such contempt cuts through us
like a sword

the earthling is the injured soul
unwillingly took on this role
a gaping throat a message to
me and them and all of you
how wrong it is to take the life
of a innocent and to hand that knife
to a child who squats and does what he’s told
by a father perhaps whose very cold
possessed even,and drawn to be
also lost eventually
